The image of the Statue of Liberty by Gee Vaucher inspired me to think about what the Statue of Liberty stands for, and how I might be able to make a political statement using the same imagery.

The matchstick model is only a starting point, I have to construct something first in order to decide how I would like to deconstruct it. There had to be a better way of doing the files so I didn’t give up the will to live.

So, I scanned the design file and then I worked on them in Adobe Illustrator and then lasercut them from 2.5mm MDF, I have every reason to believe it will work and sincerely hope it does.
